What's the difference between a male and a female dwarf gourami?

Question

I think I have a female dwarf gourami, I think, its mostly red, and its long, string-like fins are white, I think the males are string fins are yellow and they're bodies are mostly red. Is this right?

Answer 1

Nope.

The dorsal fin on the male runs the length of the body and is used to display. The female has a much smaller/shorter one.

Otherwise they look pretty much alike and colour doesn't come into it.
